Cancelled UFC event on April 9, 2020

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have nominated this article for deletion because a UFC event for April 9, 2020 was never planned in the first place. All of its citations refer to a UFC event that was being planned for June 13 at Astana Arena in Kazakhstan, not April 9. — 29cwcst (talk) 04:45, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Article is well sourced thus pass WP:GNG. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:01, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per above. There was never an event on that date and the data regarding the moving from Astana to a new location is already in the correct article. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 18:01, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * That doesn't or shouldn't matter though Cassiopeia, because all of those sources could be used in the correct article instead. I've kept a copy of them all on my talk page, so you are more than welcome to use them when/where you feel they're needed. — 29cwcst | 00:45, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete It never happened, then got rescheduled. We're not UFC's iCal.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 22:08, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - A cancelled event is the reason for deletion as it is not based on Wikipedia notability guidlines. There are 5 UFC event articles which didnt happen and they meet notability guiltiness just like this one - see Past events (grey rows event in the list).

 * But they were indeed cancelled. This article says there was an event booked for April 9 in Kazakhstan that was cancelled and everything in it is wrong. There was never an event planned for April 9; the Kazakhstan event was planned for June 13, then the UFC decided to cancel that location and relocated the event for Las Vegas, keeping the same date. This article is completely false. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 19:51, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment If the date is incorrect titled then just change the article title to "Cancelled UFC event on June 13, 2020" instead of deletion as the sources support the content and the article meets WP:N requirements.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 22:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You already knew that from the start, but did not change. And again, that event was not cancelled like the other ones. The host was cancelled and relocated on the same date. You simply changed a title from an article that was supposed to be a redirect until an event was announced. This goes against what you said on the UFC 249 merge situation. You keep contradicting yourself. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 13:22, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You keep the rest of the cancelled event; yet why single this out when the it meets notability guidelines? Article in Wikipedia is all about veribility and meets notability. Thank you.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 09:27, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I just mentioned it above. The other events were cancelled and not relocated. They have the correct titles for the original main events. You redirected an article to one that has a wrong date and wrong info. The June 13 event, originally scheduled for Kazakhstan, was rescheduled for Las Vegas and took place on the originally planned date. That's pretty clear. This article has nothing to do with others that were cancelled and you know that, though you act like you don't. Everyone but you agrees on that. It is simply a duplicate. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 16:17, 29 June 2020 (UTC
 * my comment is based on Wikipedia notability guidelines and not about my liking. The article should be merged in the first place but you seem opposite it and now you would like to delete a article that pass the notability guidelines which to me it doesnt make sense.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 08:29, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You moved the UFC Fight Night 176 to this title. You could've kept it as a redirect until the 176 event took place. Then when I asked you about this article, you simply mentioned that is has sources enough to keep it going, even though it has a lot of flaws and it's a duplicate. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 21:41, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * then the page should be merged then. We dont delete a page which pass notability guidelines. We could keep, redirect or merge the article, but you voted oppose to all mere of UFC event included UFC 249 and later you agreed. As we all know it is extremely common UFC events do change headline, cancelled bouts, or change bouts or at time change date. We dont need to keep the same format of the event page all the time, for if new info comes up then we add the info in the body text. The point is the article meet notability guidelines for such it doesnt meet AfD criteria. Thank you.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 22:38, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Should have simply redirected the original title to List of UFC events and then it would be redirected to the official UFC Fight Night 176. Just adding random info into it makes no sense. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 23:16, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I believe merge to UFC Fight Night 176 would be a better solution. By the way, content in the article is not non sense random info but it is as per secondary sources.

 * Delete. No sources confirm that the event was scheduled for April 9, 2020. Additionally, this event is covered in the UFC on ESPN: Eye vs. Calvillo article. Fbdave (talk) 12:23, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Fbdave, pls read the above comments. Title date can be changed and the page pass notability guidelines, either keep or merge with UFC on ESPN: Eye vs. Calvillo.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 08:21, 2 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete rumor mill gossip. No poster image with that event's date appears in the infobox, and event was never authentically verified anyway. --Discographer (talk) 22:56, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
